I always assumed blocking recording because two party consent states exist was an excuse to help big companies screw over individuals. For one thing, the phone has gps, for another it could start recording if it hears the “you are being re

This is a fun rabbit hole to walk down. You might have noticed that streaming is getting worse (more expensive, less selection, more ads, more fragmentation). For me, they crossed a breaking point, where I decided I'd just find someth

It definitely deserves a place on the list. In fact, it's the worst of the worst, since it's just plausible looking enough to be the only option on over a billion devices. On top of that, the EU passed a bill to make them fix it,

I came here to suggest COBOL as a better fit, then saw your comment a few levels up in this thread. Out of curiosity, does your implementation use CODASYL? (For people that don't pay much attention to historical software systems, most

I really want a version that strips nothing but the ToS screen, and is licensed under the MPL. Cue class action lawsuit against the mozilla foundation until they stop this madness.

It’s pretty bad. IPC doesn’t work reliably any more. The window manager is unusable. Spotlight misses results and also pegs the cpu, killing battery. Finder is bad enough on its own, but the 1:N mapping from logical directories to filesys

Steam reports 3.4% for linux and 2% for macos (last montg. This month numbers are probably hit by systematic measurement errors). https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ Also, the 16% “unknown” in the graph you linke

IBM built the Harvard Mark 1 in 1944, before EMCC existed.

Arguably, it was the second. The Harvard Mark 1 ran its first program in 1944, but didn’t have branches as we understand them until 1946: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Mark_I Apparently, you could achieve loops

I was replying to ggp. I did misread micro-interactions, but my point still stands. “Eloquence is the essential thing in a speech, not information.”

He’s willing to publicly criticize government corruption and child abuse, so there’s no way MAGA would accept him. (Both these stances came up in the defamation lawsuit and in the music video.) When he ran for president in 2024, he registe

So, in the music video, the cops pretty clearly steal something (probably money, as alleged), and attempt to destroy evidence. They’re facing charges too, right? Right?

Yeah, but unlike facebook, they weren't just caught making videos of people having sex then paying people to watch the videos. Also, unlike facebook, they also weren't just caught running a dark money lobbyist network with the goa

Apple supposedly does this with the privacy report cards. However, I'd be shocked if a cursory audit comparing SDKs embedded in apps and disclosed data sales showed they were effectively enforcing anything at all.

Debian is almost as broken as Ubuntu. However, I've been extremely happy with Devuan. It is Debian minus some bad decisions the Ubuntu voting block forced upstream (for instance, there's no systemd).

I think a better question is whether there are simpler approaches to sandboxing applications that avoid this problem by design. The answer is definitely "yes". Many articles and books have been written about UNIX administration,

If you care about slow tmp leaks, you could also just use a 1-line, decade+ old solution; no additional software required, since your machine already has cron, find and xargs on it: https://askubuntu.com/questions/43105

Studies show that viewer comprehension is strictly worse for presentations that use “build” animations vs ones that do not. I assume the study results would be the same if they were repeated using fade scrolls.

In reader mode on iOS 26, there is some scroll jank, presumably due to hidden scroll fade. (Take this as another excuse not to hijack scrolling behavior, not an actual request you improve your implementation of tacky-mode.)

On iOS 26 (up to date as of this comment), the Orion web browser from Kagi does not have this problem. It also supports firefox and chrome extensions, so you can use things like UBlock Origin and Privacy Badger.

Same here, except with Minecraft and XBox One. I don’t understand how they have non-zero market share.

So, EVs would reduce electricity usage in the long term (by eliminating the growth in demand from air conditioning). On top of that, things like balcony and rooftop solar are much more economically attractive if you have a lot of load at yo

We have a F-150 lightning, and charge it on a 12A, 120V charger. It’s fine for 6-10 trips a week. If I commuted in it to an office without a charger it wouldn’t be fine, but a smaller commuter car would be. (The truck gets 2.5 miles&#x2F

California has 1.6 charge stalls per gas nozzle. Does that count? I places like Japan (small, population dense, with small cars) you can use a 120V outlet to charge an EV. Most places have 240V household outlets, and can charge at least tw

EVs produce more tire dust, but much less brake dust and exhaust (even when powered by coal plants). The net effect is a massive reduction in dust and particulates. Some modern tire additives are incredibly toxic to fish. They’ve been bann

Even modern ICE cars produce lots of particulates and air pollution. Recent studies have shown significant reductions in mortality starting at 5-10% EV market share.
